Fundamentals of Customer Experience Management (CEM)
(2 days)

To maintain sustained growth, organizations must constantly create or add value for their customers.  Sometimes it’s difficult to determine how this can be accomplished. Value created in some areas of the organization brings greater returns than value created in other areas. Moreover, in a competitive market, value creation is dynamic—areas that can be profitably exploited one year may not be as profitable in subsequent years.

In order to create or add value, organizations need to analyze their process of creating and sustaining value.  In addition, they must maintain the flexibility to direct their investment focus on activities that produce the greatest returns.

In this course you will learn how to evaluate your organization from the perspective of your customers, not internal executives. This “outside-in” view is a sharp contrast to the “inside-out” view used by many organizations to identify strategic initiatives, and will be a key factor to help you give your customers increased value and your organization a competitive advantage.
